In the lavishly decorated Governor's Office, in response to the current grim situation, Diego? Gato to Jiang Ziyue and Adam? Christensen proposed that Jiang Ziyue implement a so-called "limited dictatorship" on the planet New Rhine, in accordance with the constitution and the Dictatorship Act. Easy to read on mobile phones: αр.(1)(6) finishing

The term "limited dictatorship" can be seen as a miniature version of the local dictatorship system applied to the local level in the new Roman Empire. It means that in the event of an emergency such as war or catastrophe in a certain region, the supreme military governor of the region may, with the consent of the governor of the planet, concentrate all the powers of the region, including administrative power, military command power, and judicial power, to facilitate the response to war and disaster relief. But after the fact, the supreme military governor and the people concerned must be questioned by the Senate to confirm their legitimacy. If there is any violation of the Constitution and the provisions of the Dictatorship Act, the Senate reserves the power to pursue it after the fact.

"I don't think there's a need for that right now." Jiang Ziyue did not approve of Gato's proposal, "As long as effective military action is taken, it will be fine." Our army is now mainly understaffed, and now it can adopt a defensive strategy against the Restoration Army. Waiting for Gus? Colonel Whitehead and his fleet were reinforced and then annihilated. ”

"By the time reinforcements arrive, I'm afraid the rebels will already be in size. Then the situation will be even more passive. Gato was anxious, "It's up to you to implement a limited dictatorship, conscript citizens with reserve qualifications to fight in battle, and increase the number of troops." At the same time, it is possible to severely punish 'rebels' and collaborators to deter those who are preparing to participate in the insurrection. ”

Although Jiang Ziyue also thought that the situation was very dangerous, he did not like Gato's advice. If a limited dictatorship is carried out, he will undoubtedly become the dictator of the planet New Rhine, with all the power of life and death, and can directly order the execution of anyone he considers to be a rebel and collaborator. This kind of power is too big, so big that Jiang Ziyue is afraid.

He had always been accustomed only to directing his officers and men how to fight regular enemy forces. So suddenly, he became a local dictator with political, military, judicial and other powers, not only to continue to command the army, but also to be responsible to the people and sentence traitors. Even if he was both a commander and a judge, he didn't dare to imagine it at all.

"It seems that this is the only way to go." Governor Adam? Christensen said in a low voice, "Jiang Gong, 'hand' all the power into your hands, you can directly control all the troops, and any actions and orders do not have to be discussed with us and delay the opportunity." ”

"Mr. Governor......" Jiang Ziyue was very surprised by his words.

"Gattogong's words make a lot of sense." Christensen explained, "Jiang Gong, New Rhine has been 'crossed' inside and outside, and I can't control the situation. And you have this authority, and you have this qualification, and I hope you will not shirk your responsibilities to the Senate and the people of Rome. ”

"The governor has agreed, Gong Jiang, let's announce it to the public immediately without further ado." Gato persuaded.

"Nope." Jiang Ziyue resolutely denied, "As a military commander, I think that it is still possible to quell the rebellion on the planet in a purely military sense, so I think the time is not ripe for a limited dictatorship." ”

Jiang Ziyue, like ordinary citizens of the New Roman Empire, did not like to see the emergence of a dictator. The emergence of a dictator not only means that the country is in danger of collapse, but also often leads to many unjust, false and wrongful convictions.

Seeing Jiang Ziyue's resolute refusal, Gato had no choice but to give up. In his eyes, Jiang Ziyue, who wore the golden Caesar medal with oak leaves on his chest, was certainly a combat hero, but he also lacked political courage, and he was even inferior to the incompetent Governor Christensen in this regard.

After rejecting Gatto's proposal, Jiang Ziyue mobilized interstellar marines and militia from other places to besiege the city of Shuangquan, which was occupied by the New Rhine Restoration Army.

The situation is not as simple as Jiang Ziyue imagined. When the Imperial Army's interstellar marines and militia, equipped with heavy equipment such as power armor, were transferred to Twin Springs, the gap left behind was not something that only the lightly armed vigilantes and senate guards could fill.

On the 27th, following the Shuangquan uprising, an armed uprising broke out in the city of Tocata, less than 500 kilometers away from the seat of the Governor's Palace. The Neu-Rhine Restoration Army easily captured the city without the defense of the marines and militia, defeated the counterattacking police and senate guards, and successfully took control of the entire city. The "Committee for the Restoration of the Republic" was ecstatic and declared that "the restoration of freedom and democracy in New Rhine is just around the corner."

The situation on the entire planet of New Rhine has been re-incarnated by a series of armed uprisings. Once again, people fled with their families and families away from the riot areas. What followed was the collapse of the social order. First of all, air traffic control has fallen into 'chaos' and 'chaos', and the wealthy people who own 'private' air planes have gone on a rampage in disregard of flight rules, resulting in extremely dangerous air routes in the atmosphere. At the same time, the flow of traffic and people migrating from the ground paralyzes the ground 'traffic'.

In the face of the surging refugee 'wave', it was clear that the new Roman Empire's overstretched forces on the planet Neu-Rhine were not enough to deal with the rebellion and maintain order at the same time. Gus? Whitehead's fleet was delayed, the Fourth Fleet of the Federation Army was approaching step by step, and the separatist forces were launching a rebellion with great fanfare, all of which made Jiang Ziyue, who was in charge of the Governor's Palace, feel unprecedented pressure.

Seeing the situation slide into the abyss of uncontrollability, Diego? Gato again suggested to Jiang Ziyue that a limited dictatorship be implemented, so as to recruit citizens with reserve qualifications to join the militia to supplement the force of law and order, so that the interstellar marines could free up their hands to concentrate on dealing with the Restoration Army.

"If you hesitate any longer, the beautiful planet of the New Rhine will become a hell of war. Jiang Gong, please make a decision as soon as possible. An anxious Gatto warned.

Governor Adam? Christensen also said: "Jiang Gong, I absolutely agree that you should implement the limited dictatorship. Extraordinary moments are only extraordinary practices. ”

Jiang Ziyue pondered for a while, and finally nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'll make an announcement." Diego? Gatto exclaimed happily. He had already prepared the draft of the announcement and the follow-up publicity plan.

Christensen stretched out his hand to Jiang Ziyue and said, "From this moment on, I will also obey you." ”

Jiang Ziyue, as the highest military governor of the region, announced in the name of the Senate that the planet Neurhine had entered a state of global tension and implemented a limited dictatorship, and issued the first dictatorial order, which was to conscript all citizens with military reserve qualifications to join the militia and accept the dispatch of militia commanders at all levels. But the effect was not immediate. Although they are on duty and fighting on a planet that they are very familiar with, after joining the militia, it takes at least one to two days for reservists to become familiar with the equipment and organizational system before they can form combat effectiveness.

So Jiang Ziyue once again connected to Lota on the cruiser "Nezha" in space? Video communication from Stoldt.

"Lotta, 'draw' at least half of the crews of the cruiser fleet to support the interstellar marines." Jiang Ziyue said helplessly.

Lota also understood the situation on the ground, but was still very shocked by his order, and hurriedly said: "It's too risky to do this, and the operation of the fleet will be seriously affected." In the event of an enemy fleet, we will be in an extremely passive position. ”

"I've called up the reservists, but it won't take a day or two at the earliest for them to be effective. I'm going to launch a counterattack tomorrow, so it's up to the fleet members to replace the void left by the Interstellar Marines. Jiang Ziyue explained, "I also know that this is too risky, but the fleet can still escape if it can't be defeated, and if the rebellion on the planet can't be suppressed, the entire Europa planetary system will be seriously threatened." ”

After thinking about it for a while, Lota had no choice but to accept Jiang Ziyue's order. A total of more than 3,000 battleship members in power armor were soon sent to various parts of the planet by aerospace plane.

The reinforced fleet members, although not as experienced in ground operations as the Interstellar Marines, were no less capable than the average militia. When they arrived at the designated area, they quickly took over from the Marines, patrolling with the police, senate guards and militia to maintain order.

Jiang Ziyue gathered the interstellar marines who had been replaced, and prepared to launch a comprehensive counterattack against the New Rhine National Salvation Army, annihilating these separatist forces in one fell swoop.

The Fourth Fleet of the Bundeswehr, which is far away near the outer planet of Europa, at 500 astronomical units, also received news from an unmanned reconnaissance ship about a rebellion on the planet Neu-Rhine. At this time, Lieutenant Colonel Robb and Edward? Colonel Mandalay again reached a unanimous opinion, suggesting that Hancock immediately rush to the New Rhine, take advantage of the situation, seize the opportunity, and attack the New Rhine with both inside and outside.

But Commander Gerald? General Hancock had no intention of helping the New Rhine Restoration Army. He said to his subordinates: "The reconnaissance ship only brought intelligence from an Imperial fleet of three hundred cruisers. I doubt that the enemy is waiting for us to take the bait. ”

The Bundeswehr army was overwhelmed, and there were rebellions on the planet of New Rhine, but there was no movement on the part of the new Roman Empire, and there was no fleet to intercept it, nor reinforcements from the direction of the planet Iserlon. This made Hancock suspicious of the planet Neurhine. Taking Neu-Rhine is certainly a good choice. However, Hancock knew in his heart that the main task of the Fourth Fleet was to contain the main force of the Imperial Army, and only by achieving this goal could other intentions be taken into account. What's more, capturing the planet of New Rhine and maintaining the order of the occupation also requires a large number of troops.

"But if we sit idly by, the rebels against the Senate will soon be outnumbered and brutally encircled." "We have to do something. ”

Hancock shook his head and said, "I can't care so much, the enemy's main fleet has not yet appeared, and we don't have sufficient supplies, so it's too risky to rush forward." ”

Hancock, who was originally full of offensive 'spirits', became hesitant in the face of the enemy's internal 'unrest'. In fact, the decision to continue the offensive despite the major crisis of logistical supply exhaustion was due to the impulse of being 'provoked' by the enemy. Hancock thought that he could attract the enemy's attention by going deep alone, attracting a large number of Imperial fleets. But now there is no sign that the adversary is ready to reinforce the Europa planetary system in full force, and the reinforcements promised by Defense Minister Admiral Bloomberg have not yet arrived. Therefore, as the enemy territory continues to deepen, the sharpness of the attack is gradually dissipated.

Edward? Colonel Mandalay suggested: "Sir, let me lead the second detachment to test the strength of the enemy, and by the way provide support to the anti-Senate democratic forces." ”

"I'm also in favor of sending a detachment to test it." Robb was reluctant to Mandalay's previous proposal, but in the current situation, he still supported Mandalay's opinion.

Hancock weighed it again and again, and finally agreed, and asked, "Okay, let Edward lead the second detachment to test it." Be careful, don't fall in love with the battle, and retreat quickly if you can't win the battle. ”

"Understood, sir." Mandalay happily replied.

After the communication meeting, Mandalay and the officers and men of the detachment were engaged in preparations for the attack.

Robb picked up the correspondence with his 'private' and said, "Colonel, you should thank me for supporting your opinion. ”

"Hehe, Lieutenant Colonel Luo, it turns out that you are such a scheming person." Mandalay said in surprise.

"Just kidding." Robb smiled and said, "I have something to tell you, though. ”

"What's the matter? Please say it. ”

Luo Bo's tone became serious: "Have you noticed that the unmanned reconnaissance ship received the enemy's declaration of a state of emergency, and Jiang Ziyue carried out a limited radio broadcast. ”

"Jiang Ziyue?" Mandalay immediately asked, "Is that the guy who brought the tracking fleet 'humiliated' in the 'Yi' star field?" ”

"I guess that's it. In April, on the planet 'Taiji', I would have had a chance to end his 'life'. Robb said with some regret, "But that wouldn't be interesting." ”

"I'm going to get to know him for a while." Mandalay was confident, "as if the Empire had touted him to the brink of God." ”

"I haven't seen him yet, but the Space Storm tactic I proposed and tried earlier was an imitation of him. But as you can see, our tactics didn't work as well as he did at the time. Luo Bo was still haunted by Jiang Ziyue's two space storm attacks before, especially the second time, when his fleet finally completed the space storm tactics of the Imperial Army's umbrella formation, it was also blown far away by the space storm launched by Jiang Ziyue, which made him even more resentful.

"Do you want to come with me for revenge?" Mandalay agitated. When Robb asks for a communication, he guesses what Robb is about.

"Yes." Robb replied, "I have to fight him with dignity, with any tactics." ”

"No, you're going to have to stay here for now." Mandalay laughed and said, "I'm not giving you that chance." Lieutenant Colonel Luo, I will quickly kill him and make you regret it for the rest of your life. ”

His second detachment also had two hundred battleships and a hundred cruisers, which was quite formidable. He was fully confident of destroying the three hundred Imperial cruisers reported by the unmanned reconnaissance ship. In terms of power comparison, he completely overwhelmed Jiang Ziyue.

"Good luck then, Colonel Mandalay." Robb seemed confident in his enemies, "I hope you return victorious." ”
